Technology Standards: ISTE NETS-S 4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: a. identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation. b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. c. Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions.
Instructional Objective(s) Students will be able to present and explain presentations. Students will be able to share how they applied their knowledge about word problems.
Action
Before-Class Preparation All presentations will be finished prior to class. All Power Point presentations will be uploaded on the computers and ready to project on the mimio board.

Group Role Checklist
Reflections and Notes: Teacher will ensure that each group’s presentation is ready to present prior to class.
Monitor
Assessment(s):
Teacher will use the project rubric to assess each student individual. Teacher will be looking for the following: explains step by step how to solve a problem, creativity, content and examples, collaboration with others, and the integration of technology. The following group checklist assessment will include the assessment of participation, organization, time management, the ability to stay on task, and socially.
Accommodations and Extensions: Accommodations will be made for the students who may require more time to complete tasks.
The visual impaired student will be provided all of his technology magnifier tools to include: bar magnifier, video mangier, and large print keyboard. (Instructions found in student’s (IEP) Additional time will be given to the student that is required additional time in accordance with his (IEP)
Evaluation
Unit Reflections and Notes: Teacher will observe students to determine if students mastered the standard, meet the standard, or did not meet the standards.
